UCLA's Holiday signs with the 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed first-round draft pick Jrue Holiday.

Holiday, 6 feet 3 and 180 pounds, was the 17th overall pick in the NBA draft after leaving UCLA after his freshman season.

He averaged 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists with the Bruins. Holiday should expect to see instant playing time with the 76ers, who are unlikely to re-sign starting point guard Andre Miller. Miller is an unrestricted free agent.

JURISPRUDENCE

Roethlisberger accused of assault

A woman has filed a civil lawsuit claiming Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in his hotel room last July when he was in Lake Tahoe for a celebrity golf tournament. The complaint also names eight Harrah's Lake Tahoe employees accused of participating in a cover-up to protect Roethlisberger.

In denying the accusations, Roethlisberger's attorney pointed out the woman never went to the authorities.

"The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct," David Cornwell said in a statement. "If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated."

The woman was an executive casino host at the time of the alleged incident and worked as a concierge for the American Century Celebrity golf tournament. She is seeking a minimum of $440,000 in damages from Roethlisberger, at least $50,000 in damages from the Harrah's officials, and an unspecified amount of punitive damages.
